Is having Bozak on 4.2m as a 3rd line centre, with Kadri probably wanting more, and then potentially Kessler or Stastny on 6m+ realistic cap space-wise though?
Add around that...
If they add a #1c that's at least around 6mil
+ resign bollaand, gardiner, kulemin? Then Kadri, bernier
And still need to add a top 4 ifnot top pairr dman
Lupul is great but with his history I think Hes becoming the odd man out...especially if nonisi isnt trading youth

Yes. Cap is going up 7 mill and Kessel and Phaneufs raises are covered by buyouts coming off the books. Basically we have the opportunity to hard 7 mill to the current team.
Then i'd be all for it if people like Leivo are ready for the step up.

SALARY CAP: $71,100,000; CAP PAYROLL: $69,011,667; BONUSES: $982,500
CAP SPACE (20-man roster): $2,088,333
Assuming Statsny for example is our only addition, gives us 2 mill cushion space to upgrade else where
Franson please!
OT: It's hilarious that you've been stuck with "The Podium" for the last year![]()
Stastny is. Good at faceoffs
Add around that...

And still need to add a top 4 ifnot top pairr dman
Lupul is great but with his history I think Hes becoming the odd man out...especially if nonisi isnt trading youth
Why move kadri to wing?If we do trade Lupul, (I am not a fan of trading Lupul), I would look to bring in at least a #3Dman.
Then sign Stastny in the Offseason
JVR-Bozak-kessel
Kadri-Stastny-clarkson
I've been saying we should go for Ladd for a while. People don't see it right now, but this team needs consistent secondary scoring/toughness.
Lupul has been everything but consistent and is not a good defensive player.
That lineup looks worse then what we have currently.
Also, Bozak is better then Stastny defensively, and Bozak is also scoring at a higher pace then Stastny as well.
Umm please, your are not seriously trying to suggest that TB is better then PS, are you?
Lets see what PS can get as a UFA compared to what TB got, that should give you a bit of measure.
At what they currently are they are definitely equal. However, Statsny will make more due to his past 70/80+ point seasons
Oh IDK about that, look I have gained much respect for what TB has done this season but PS is still the better, all around player.
I hope you will get a better understanding once PS inks for 6+ this summer.
PS : PS won't get 6+ because he had 70/80p in the past, he will get it because he has had 70/80 p in the past and looks like he can reproduce that in the right environment.
He is not getting Olympic PP time because their coach's are stupid.
yeah, thats the reason.![]()
I'd think it would be good to have our top 3 Cs to be
TB
PS
NK
Fit in Lups/Clark with either NK or PS and run 3 scoring lines with a 4th line that is a strong checking line ,sans goons.
If you can add a PS without losing assets, that's a good thing.
Cool story but that has nothing to do with my post.
Also, cool story that we're pencil NK in as our new 3rd line C after what 2 games? Bolland over Kulie 10 times out of 10 for me. Especially considering offensive abilities and likely contract demands.
